Bodyfit KC

Fantastic experience: I've been to lots of gyms around the country because I move a lot for my job and I can honestly say that this is the best gym I have ever been too. Besides that this gym is a green gym and makes my soul feel happy. It's because of the people! David and the teachers there are so amazing and actually listen to what your goals are and help you achieve them! Also the people that go to this gym are amazing; everyone is so supportive of each other and I've made genuine friendships and connections with people at this gym! At the end of the month I am moving back to Michigan. The hardest part about leaving Kansas City isn't the packing or planning, but it's that I won't find a gym like this any where else.

Fantastic experience: Every experience I have at Bodyfit is better than the last. The trainers here are not only knowledgeable and talented, they are truly dedicated to the success of each member. They are incredible trainers and incredible people. From the weight training to the yoga to the jiu jitsu to the kickboxing. The place is legit. People love to workout with people who motivate them and care about them. Bodyfit isn't just another gym. Bodyfit has become another home away from home.

Fantastic experience: Diversity among the instructors, classes, training, and clientele is vast and comforting. People from all walks of life begin to feel like family very shortly after you become a member. The dedication and knowledge/insight of the instructors is most definitely reassuring to your health and fitness goals. There is something for everyone at Bodyfit KC, it is truly a life changing experience.

Fantastic experience: If I can do it - you can too!! I'm a middle-aged woman with some chronic health issues who tries to maintain some semblance of balance in my life. On my good days, I go all out in the Bodyfit group class - planks, box jumps, push-ups, burpees, squats, rows, clean and press, and whatever other power-lifting and/or strength training you can imagine. The daily variety is outstanding! On my not so good days, I modify, modify and modify some more - all under the expert guidance and care of our Bodyfit trainer. From the hardcore gym rat to the absolute beginner, there is something here for everyone. Then there's the Yoga classes...You would be hard-pressed to find more knowledgeable, caring and experienced instructors anywhere else. There are so many classes at so many levels offered 7 days a week. Again, from beginner to advanced there is something for everyone. The facility is new, clean and nicely equipped. Those who work out/practice here are friendly and supportive. The hours are extremely convenient. I must say, I LOVE this place!!

Fantastic experience: You can tell that all of the trainers and instructors at Bodyfit are there with passion for fitness and truly want to get to know you. By the second visit I was being coached by name, which hasn't happened anywhere else and truly makes this place special. Personalized attention to technique allows for form correction and modifications to be offered at every weightlifting session to get you maximized results with less chance of injury. The yoga space is inviting and the practices I've attended are yet again personalized. No matter your background or fitness level you will feel like part of a fitness family here.

Fantastic experience: I was back home from New York, and was looking for a gym that I could use while I was in town. I'm so glad I found Bodyfit KC! The administrative staff was incredibly nice and accommodating to my brief stay, and the trainers and fellow gym members were so encouraging and motivating. (There wasn't a trace of mean girl cattiness or judgment like I've dealt with at other gyms.) Both trainers and gymmates took the time to make sure I had proper form, explained how each workout and piece of equipment worked, and helped me feel really accomplished at the end of each incredible workout. I felt pushed to my limit and stronger each time I went. If I lived in Kansas City, I would be here pretty much every day!

Fantastic experience: What can I can say about this gym? As a former minor league pitcher for the Colorado Rockies organization, I can honestly say in my 15 years of actively working out, this is the best gym I've ever been a member of. I sincerely mean this when I'm talking about the coaches, challenging workouts, friendly community, great price, location, and numerous workout options the facility provides. For example, you can have balance of doing a high intensity workout and then run upstairs for a hot yoga session. Or, if you're interested in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, they have one of the best instuctors in the KC area. It's the best of both worlds all bundled into one facility. I have done Crossfit for over 5 years all over the country and BodyFit classes are just as intense and the coaches provide excellent instruction for proper technique to prevent injury. I've been a member for almost a year now and my deadlifts, squat, bench, clean and jerk have all shot up. I get extremely excited everyday I show up to sweat! Just drop-in for one of their classes and I promise you that you'll enjoy it.

Fantastic experience: This is seriously the best gym. The trainers really care about you as a person and not just a paycheck. They care about your progress and push you to help you reach your goals. They are very knowledgeable and push you past where you ever thought you could go in your fitness goals. There are times that will meet everyone's schedule. They offer a wide variety of classes that can fit into anyone fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: This gym is the best I have experienced in the area. Certainly the best bang for your buck! They offer kickboxing, yoga, weightlifting, and nutritional help. The employees are VERY qualified in their skills. I have lifted weights throughout my life and it is still very helpful that David explains each exercise in detail. This place is perfect for beginners because they do such a great job at instructing proper technique. I have become a pretty dedicated yogi within the last two years and Grace is certainly the most qualified yoga instructor I have found in this city. And the gym is 100% solar powered which is pretty sweet!

Fantastic experience: Best work out place ever! never mind a regular gym - this is where you go if you really want to change not just your workouts but your LIFESTYLE! the trainers to the people that go workout are so motivating and fun :) due to my schedule though (I have 2 jobs & I know this is no excuse but still) it is hard for me to make the classes at the available times... but when I have been going consistently in the past, my attitude, eating habits and LIFE just change for the better :) deft. give a try and commit to it - promise it is worth it!

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best gyms I have ever been too, if not the best. Regardless of the shape, size, or fitness level you're at this is the place for you! Everyone and I mean EVERYONE is motivating and so friendly. #NoJudgementZone! This gym has great classes and so much availability it's definitely the right place for you. The trainers are so knowledgeable and caring. You know the moment you walk in they're not just there to receive a paycheck, they actually care for you and your goals and want you to succeed. I promise you will LOVE this gym! Come in and check it out and I PROMISE you won't be disappointed. :)

Fantastic experience: While visiting family in KC I was able to catch a few drop-in classes and what a great experience. The coach, David aka Vava, was extremely knowledgeable and personable. In just one session I recieved more 1-on-1 attention than I would get in a month from my gym back in Dallas. In addition, the other members were welcoming and the availible classes and times were abundant. If you're in KC check out this gym!

Fantastic experience: I have been here for about 5 months and I have the best gym experience in all of what they have to offer. Worth your money and worth your time. coaches know what they’re doing and it is an individualized style of coaching so everyone is involved!

Fantastic experience: Super grateful I found this gym. I’ve been going to the gym for about 5 years and here I get to try everything I’ve been wanting to, but been nervous about trying it. The lifting classes are super helpful to make sure you have perfect form, and there is trainer standing by. Also a big fan of the jiu jitsu class. Super welcoming environment and there’s no gym that can top it!

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful I found Bodyfit. It's a safe space where I feel pushed to always do and be better. They offer a variety of classes but Jiu Jitsu is my favorite. If you're considering joining a new gym, definitely check out Bodyfit KC.

Fantastic experience: If you have any fitness goals, big or small, Bodyfit is the place to be! They have great trainers, equipment, a ton of different classes, the option to train alone if you want, and everyone is super nice and encouraging! I can't recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable staff. Trainers are top notch and friendly. Classes are fun and intense. I would highly recommend this gym for everyone from beginners to seasoned lifters. No matter what your goal is you can't find a better gym to help you reach new heights.

Fantastic experience: I've been a part of this gym for about 4 years and it is now one of the biggest parts of my life. I can confidently say I am in the absolute best shape of my life and am stronger than I have ever been. I started coming here because it was close by and I wanted to lose a little weight, but the trainers and friends I have made at Bodyfit have unlocked a potential in me I didn't even know I had. Joining this gym was the best decision I have ever made.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Bodyfit KC for a little over a year now and all I can say is that this place is truly special. I was a bit hesitant to join when I first checked it out because the price points that were given to me seemed a little high but when I got to see how much time, dedication, and genuine care goes into the classes and training from ALL of the coaches, that worry became an after-thought. Each coach there brings a wide range of different skills and traits to the table and all of them are professional, extremely knowledgeable and very dedicated to the success of the members. If you are looking for a place to learn new skills whether it be how to properly and safely lift weights, learn a martial art, or just feel that you are in a safe space to get in better shape and feel more confident, this gym is the place to go. Yes, it might be a bit more expensive then your Planet Fitness down the street but when you realize you can't put a price on health AND knowledge, you'll see this as an investment and one that is well worth it.

Fantastic experience: When I first moved to Kansas City I hardly knew anyone and had never been very serious about exercise, but I had heard about this thing called jiu jitsu and figured I'd look for a place close to my apartment to try it out. Fast forward my 2.5 years in KC and Bodyfit taught me so much about determination, working through frustration, and continuing on when all you want to do is quit. Whether you are a world champion blackbelt or have never worn a gi, every member and instructor is respectful, patient, and motivating. If martial arts aren't your thing, all of that can also be found in their other classes. Now that I have since left KC, Bodyfit is one of the things I miss most about it. Looking for a new gym and only finding large corporate options makes me realize what a gem Bodyfit is. Even in the 2.5 years I was a member they made significant improvements to the facilities and programming, and have done even more since I moved away. I don't think I have ever written a review for any business but David and all the rest deserve every ounce of praise. Their Twitter bio says it best, "just a bunch of friends who like to work out together."

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality I was in KC for a couple of weeks and had the opportunity to drop in on a couple of BJJ classes. The instructors and other students were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to check out the sport or searching for high-quality training.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I was looking for a gym that would educate me on proper form and technique. All the Staff are knowledgeable in just that! Not only are the employees so welcoming and genuinely nice, but so are the members! That alone speaks volumes. I would recommend to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Bodyfit is practically my second home. David, the owner, and the rest of the staff are not only a ton of fun to work with, but all incredibly knowledgeable! I had never really done much lifting prior to coming to bodyfit, and now I love coming to bodyfit so much that I’m there almost every day. Their training programs range from kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu, to strength training and Olympic lifting - all of which you can show up at with 0 knowledge, and someone will take the time to teach you. If you’re coming to try out Bodyfit, prepare yourself to have a gym family, because that’s what you’re going to get!

Fantastic experience: This is gym has an incredible sense of community. It is a serious gym but doesn't have all of the intimidation associated with a serious gym. All levels are welcome and encouraged to push harder and harder. Bodyfit has become one of my happy places over the past 2 years. I feel better after every workout! If you are looking for a gym I encourage you to check out Bodyfit!!!!!

Fantastic experience: This is one of many jiu jitsu gyms that I have attended and it is easily the best bang for your buck available in the KC area. Not only do they have jj but the owner David (Vava) is a fitness genius. From personalized services for athletes with specific goals in mind to people who just want to get in a little bit better shape, there isn't a better place in KC for it that Bodyfit KC. Classes are VERY affordable and every instructor that I've met is a blast to be around.

Fantastic experience: Bodyfit is one of the most unique gym experiences I’ve ever had. It truly changed my approach to exercise and health. I initially joined in 2016 because of the close location to my home, and because they offered martial arts (BJJ and kickboxing). The owner and the instructor you’ll most likely have for a variety of classes David encouraged me to try weightlifting. The classic bodyfit class offered numerous times a day is a fun and challenging blend of strength training and cardio/HIIT. The instructors make the classes doable for beginners to the more advanced. I’ve never had a bad experience with any of the instructors or the bodyfit staff. They are all so welcoming and inclusive to everyone who walks in the door. I have so many positive things to say about this gym but I think the best advice would be to just show up and try a class! There’s something for everyone, from strength training to gymnastics. This gym feels like a bunch of friends all coming together for similar and different goals. Everyone seems friendly and willing to help you if you are in need.

Fantastic experience: Loved the atmosphere of this gym. All of the instructors that worked with me did a fantastic job of teaching as well as bringing together what felt like a team. I moved away from KC so I had to leave, but if you're looking for a gym where you'll build relationships with people while learning about fitness and getting into shape this is your place!

Fantastic experience: This gym is a community, home to a wide variety of members and coaches. You have a TON of options: strength training, conditioning, gymnastics, BJJ, kickboxing, Olympic weightlifting. The coaches are all knowledgeable about their classes. It’s awesome. It’s also a supportive, inclusive place. People here care—and not just about your fitness, but your health and self-confidence. They are not a gym to just take your money. You have to put in the work, but the coaches are there to ensure your success. I’ve only been a member for a few months, but I feel at home.

Fantastic experience: During these 'odd' times, Bodyfit's staff has found a way to have amazing instructor led classes, while maintaining safe social distancing. As we all adjust to this temporary change, I know that this gym will be doing everything to keep its patrons safe. Bodyfit KC is the only gym that I have ever stuck with for more than a few months. This is a testament to the tremendous efforts on part of the staff to foster a community that supports one another's journey towards physical AND mental fitness. I have been a member for several years now, and I have been very impressed with how the gym is always looking to upgrade and improve. They are always seeking to add more value to my membership. So yeah, I'm a fan. Thanks Bodyfit KC! Cam

Fantastic experience: Bodyfit is the fourth gym I’ve been a part of and by far my favorite. I come mainly for the BJJ program, but have always experienced high quality instruction when I’ve gone to other classes too. Other than top-notch instruction and many forms of training to choose from, the main thing that Bodyfit has that other places lack is a strong sense of community. On an average day, I know most if not all of the people around by name. Overall a great place to work out!

Fantastic experience: I moved to KC 8 months ago with fitness goals and Bodyfit was the first and last gym I visited. It's small (though they just expanded ) so you don't feel like you're just one of many. You're part of a family. What I needed was a plan and some accountability and I got heaps of that! VaVa is the owner and one of a few (great!) trainers and he genuinely cares about your progress and health. He called me out when I needed it and cheered me on when I needed that. I made some of my first friends and KC memories at this gym. I never felt unsafe, leered at or uncomfortable as a black woman. And it's the cleanest gym I've ever been too. Adapting to COVID was no problem for them. Weight training was what intially brought me there but everything else about the gym is what made me stay. If you're looking for a new gym home, come through and try a class. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I moved to the KC area almost 4 years ago. I had a list of gyms I wanted to visit. The first gym I walked into was Bodyfit and I never walked out. I am so thankful I found this place and cannot speak highly enough about it. David, the owner, is by far one of the best trainers I have worked with. He is incredibly knowledgeable and is always available to work with you to reach your personal goals, whether for a specific event, nutritional goals or whatever your goals may be. They offer a variety of classes, the trainers are top notch, and the place is clean. This place is truly exemplary. Whether your goal is to get into shape, get toned, build overall strength and muscle or learn a new skill, BodyFit has you covered. It really is a unique place and I consider myself lucky to be a part of the BodyFit family.

Fantastic experience: BodyFit has officially become my ABSOLUTE favorite gym! Vava and his team have gone above and beyond to make sure newcomers like myself feel welcomed and supported. I was never confident in the way I worked out and never appreciated the feeling of a good work out because I truly did not know what that felt like until I joined BodyFit. Not only that, but I've also seen noticeable results and can feel my body changing for the better. I love BodyFit and I'm proud to be a BodyFit member!!

Fantastic experience: There are so many things to love about Bodyfit, but the thing I love most is that it is so inclusive and thoughtful. They are a green gym, the trainers ask how you have been and want you to come to their classes. They will push you to be better both physically and mentally. I've never felt uncomfortable being there as a girl, unlike other gyms I've been a member of. On top of this, they have a wide variety of convenient and challenging classes. You won't get bored here!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for nearly three years now and I haven't ever thought about switching gyms. This place is simply the best. Has the best trainers, members, and classes. Everyone works hard at what they do and the support given to reach our goals is irreplaceable. I couldn't have made it through pharmacy school without this place

Fantastic experience: Bodyfit is the best gym in Kansas City hands down!!! You get so much more than you pay for with this gym. Every trainer knows each client by name and genuinely cares about their health and success. I have attended Bodyfit for 2 years and I have loved every second. There are a variety of classes offered that are accessible to anyone at any level of fitness. I cannot recommend this gym enough. If are wanting to get stronger and healthier and have a really fun time while doing it, check out Bodyfit KC!

Fantastic experience: The thing about this gym is it's family. We're all there to get better physically and mentally which translates to an amazing community. The different programs like strength training, metabolic conditioning, olympic lifting, jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, gymnastics and more are all great. Plus the staff is very knowledgeable with how nutrition and fitness interact and will help you achieve your personal goals. When you're dedicated to your goals and have the support of a community like this there's no stopping you! So give Bodyfit a visit!

Fantastic experience: I have been member at Bodyfit for just over a year, and I can say without a doubt that I have never enjoyed a gym more than Bodyfit. They do an incredible job creating a family like environment, to the point my wife and kids are also members. I attend mostly for BJJ, and the level of training and teaching is outstanding. Everyone at the gym cares for each other, pushes each other, and as a result allow you to get the best of yourself. It always isn't easy, but isn't that the point? To push yourself, better yourself, and more. I couldn't be happier at Bodyfit and will continue to be a member there for a long time.

Fantastic experience: I trained at Bodyfit for my last year living in KC and only regretted not joining sooner. I already had access to some pretty nice gyms for free through my work, but I still chose to spend money on a membership here as my primary gym because I found the value to be worth it. It is a fully equipped gym with everything you need to get stronger/fitter; the trainers know what they're doing and know how to tailor your programming and nutrition towards whatever specific training goals you might have; and the selection of classes offered is impressively broad. There are not many places out there that offer classes for strength training, conditioning, mixed martial arts, gymnastics, and olympic lifting all under one roof, and there is not a lot of quality, affordable guidance on how to pursue multiple goals simultaneously, but you will find that here. As an added bonus, the people are nice, and even if you prefer working out independently, it's a fun community and you'll find encouragement when you need it. Whether you're trying to learn a new skill set, improve your overall fitness, or take your training to the next level, I fully recommend giving Bodyfit a shot.

Fantastic experience: Very fun and energetic trainers and staff who really want to see members succeed. The classes are always intense, tough, and even humorous. I’d recommend this gym to anyone who appreciates class based exercising and for those who live in the downtown area it’s great with lots of parking in the back. Make sure to bring your own water bottle. They also have open gym hours for any folks who want to workout solo.

Fantastic experience: As an individual with no previous experience in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or Kickboxing, I was looking for a gym in which I could learn proper technique from seasoned trainers, as well as continue my personal fitness journey. I could not imagine a better fit for me than Bodyfit KC. Whether you are looking to simply get good exercise, or to learn proper technique and form (BJJ, kickboxing, weight lifting/circuit training, yoga) the trainers here will push you, and get the best out of you everyday. Every class feels like a personal training session. This is also the only local gym that I am aware of that offers a wide variety of classes early in the AM. So if you are having trouble making time in the evenings for exercise or training, they have 5:15am strength and conditioning classes, 7:00am BJJ and kickboxing classes... These guys never take a break. Could not recommend this gym more. Thanks guys, Cameron J. Batschke

Fantastic experience: I love going to Bodyfit! I take classes during the lunch hour HIIT and Kickboxing both David and Josh are amazing trainers. I am always surprised that they know my name and have since the first time I walked in. They take the time to know you and your goals which is totally different than any other gym I have been too. I can't say enough good things about Bodyfit. Go see Josh and David you can thank me later!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Body fit for almost a year now and still love it. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I really enjoy the variety of classes Bodyfit, Yoga, Ju Jitsu, Movement, Bare,.. the list goes on. All the trainers are excellent in working with all levels of your fitness, from beginner to advanced. The coaches are personable , that can lead you to greatness and I can see that they continually try to improve fitness work outs. It never gets stale nor is there a dull moment at Body fit KC!

Fantastic experience: Such a great gym to be a part of!! The Josh and David make you feel so comfortable and encouraged and this motivates you to do your best and keep coming back! They challenge you every day and care about what your personal goals are. Since I work right down the street it is also convenient that they offer Kickboxing and HIIT classes at noon Monday-Thursday. I'm so glad I decided to join and always tell the rest of my work friends they are missing out!

Fantastic experience: I have been at Bodyfit for almost a year now and I have only good things to say! It is different than any gym out there and provides an incredible workout every time no matter what fitness level you are coming in at. They have everything from weight and strength training, to mind and body classes, to kickboxing and Jiu-Jitsu. There really is something for everyone, and at Bodyfit, you should never be hesitant to try something new. The environment is amazing- no one is judging you but everyone is pushing you to work harder and be better. The trainers go out of their way to push you during workouts. They also provide nutritional advice, and help you reach whatever lifestyle goal you want to accomplish when you walk through the door. In my year at Bodyfit, I have seen big changes and have reached goals that I thought would take years to accomplish. This place is a hidden gem in Kansas City and has become somewhere I look forward to going day in and day out.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely Amazing!!! I did not believe the 5 star rating walking into the gym but 2 sessions later I saw what the hype was about. There is no gym that I have been to that has gotten me in such good shape! I hate working out but David, the main trainer, goes above and beyond to help each person with their individual needs and goals. He does a wonderful job of blending the line of trainer and friend. He really wants you to push your boundaries and many days he waned me to reach my goal more than I did. Its easy to skip the gym but David is the type of guy who keeps bringing you back time and time again and keeps you going when you want to give up. Just to use myself as an example, day 1 I had never done a deadlift. Within 1.5 months I was maxing out at 325 lbs. If you want to really get your entire body in shape, and you have tried working out before but never saw the results you wanted (as I did at 3 different gyms at 3 different times in my life) then this gym is for you. Yes it may be a bit more expensive than a $10-20 gym membership at a normal gym but it is completely worth it as you see the results you want and you see them very quickly (if you put the effort). "Fitness is a journey, not a destination" Thank you David!!! (Seriously, I cannot explain in words what an awesome trainer and person he is!)

Fantastic experience: This is not your standard gym, and it will change your mind on what you should expect. Personally, I was never great at pushing myself from start to end of my own workout. Like most people I would start strong and taper off as we went along. The trainers at Bodyfit are amazing at pushing an entire group of people thru a set that pushes you to your limits, and makes you believe you can do better. It’s not about the person next to you, it’s about the person you were yesterday. This is definitely a gym for people of all experience and fitness levels.

Fantastic experience: As an intermittent resident of KC, I was looking for a gym with an open, supportive attitude to help members fulfill their personal goals. Within 5 min. of my tour I knew Bodyfit was exactly right for me. When I learned that in addition to the plethora of exercise classes, Yin Yoga is also offered, I was ready to join. There is a wonderful energy in the building. The instructors are knowledgable about exercise physiology and body kinetics and excellent at translating this knowledge to the members. A class will have participants of different ages, body types, level of fitness, and ability. All are encouraged to reach the next level every time. It is remarkable that I am able to join on-going classes even when having been away for several weeks. When leaving a class, I feel happy and that I have accomplished something. The welcoming and supportive attitude of the staff sets the tone.

Fantastic experience: I've been taking fitness classes at Bodyfit for over a year and i'm still obsessed. The classes are always fresh and challenging and have really taken my fitness to the next level. The workouts (even the tough ones!) are often the highlight of my day. There is something so restorative and energizing about this place. The trainers and members are very friendly, inclusive, and motivating; its a really great community and an ideal place for people at any level. Highly recommend you check it out!

Fantastic experience: Bodyfit has everything you need! They offer Kickboxing, Jiu-Jitsu, Yoga, Barre Classes, Cardio Hip Hop, a movement focused class, as well as group training with weights and cardio development. The environment is amazing, there is no judgement, or snooty gym attitudes. Every single person I have ever worked out with here is supportive and friendly. The trainers go out of their way to get to know you and help you tailor your workouts to your needs! People of all skill levels should be comfortable attending as on any given day there will be someone who is brand new, and someone who is a seasoned vet. At Bodyfit safety is a priority. There are special classes that focus on lifting form, but still give attendees a great workout. Best gym I have been a member of. If you are looking for a community where you belong, with likeminded people to help you move towards your fitness goals, Bodyfit is the place for you!
